Nigerian musician and songwriter, Adekunle Kosoko, widely recognized by his stage name Adekunle Gold, has shared his perspective on the concept of kindness in today’s world, stating that excessive kindness can make one appear foolish.
In a tweet posted on his X account on Monday, Adekunle Gold revealed that it took him a significant amount of time to arrive at this conclusion. His statement has sparked diverse reactions and discussions online.
The artist argued that to thrive in life, a balance must be struck, suggesting that incorporating a small dose of wickedness is sometimes necessary to navigate the complexities of the world.
He wrote, “Took me a while, but I can confirm now that in this life, you need a sprinkle of wickedness to thrive. Kindness go turn you to mumu.”
However, not everyone agreed with the singer's statement, as one of his followers openly challenged the analogy and presented a contrasting opinion.
The follower, identified as Oludotun Sunday, expressed strong disagreement with Adekunle Gold’s perspective, describing it as completely inaccurate. He emphasized that truly kind people do not regret their kindness and have no desire to embrace wickedness.
According to Oludotun, kindness is an inherent trait, and those who are genuinely kind do not entertain thoughts of being wicked. He argued that it is only wicked individuals who display two-faced tendencies, and kind-hearted people remain consistent in their nature.
He wrote, “This is a hot fat lie. Kind people are kind and never regret their kindness. If you are wicked, you are wicked. If you are kind, you can never wish and do not need to be wicked. Kind people never nurse that idea, only wicked people can be two-faced.”
The statement by Adekunle Gold, along with the contrasting viewpoint shared by Oludotun Sunday, has sparked widespread debate among fans and followers, with some agreeing with the musician’s sentiments while others sided with Oludotun's argument.
